Ready to pull the trigger. Let me know if you have anything. Much appreciated.

You will love either. Both are phenomenal scopes. I just bought a TT and have been doing some side by sides with my ZP5 and at half the cost the ZP5 really impresses as I’m hard pressed to find any major difference optically. Also have had the ZCO (4-20) and it has excellent glass as well. I may decide to get a TT315M if I like the Gen 3XR reticle enough I may be putting my ZP5 on the market, but not sure how long that might be.
Anyone who pays over $3k for a new ZP5 has not done their homework, contact the Hide dealers and you’re sure to get a smokin’ good deal less than $3k. That being said anything coming from Europe seems to be going up in price, EO just raised the prices of all their S&B scopes by 10% across the board just a few weeks ago due to the dollar value dropping (this is what happens when your government prints money it does not have!). Another contributing factor was the Minox/Mauser 50% off deal from 2019, but even before then used ZP5’s were going for $2300-$2400. Personally, I think more than anything that affects resale value is name recognition and the smaller companies like Minox and Kahles tend to struggle a bit more which gives opportunity for some great deals. While Minox and Kahles may have MSRP over $3k that is not what these scopes are selling for at street value and honestly it’s better to buy used from a reputable source as the deals are much better.
